Jesus said to them: Have you understood all these things? They said to him: Yes, Lord.

And they found in him occasion for offense. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, unless it be in his own country and in his own house.

and he said to his servants: This is John The Immerser; he has risen from the dead; and for this reason the powers of the spiritual world are active within him.

For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

For John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her.

And he intended to put him to death, but feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

And the king was grieved: but on account of his oath, and those who reclined at table with him, he commanded it to be given.

And when Jesus heard of it, he withdrew from that place, by ship, into a desert place apart: and the multitudes, when they heard of his departure, followed him, on foot, from the cities.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.

They said to him: We have here but five loaves and two fishes.

And he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and go before him to the opposite side, while he sent the multitudes away.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were alarmed, and said: It is a specter! and they cried out for fear.

And Peter answered him, and said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.

And Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him: you of little faith, why did you doubt?

And they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Truly, thou art the Son of God.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the neighboring country, and brought to him all that were sick;

and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his mantle; and as many as touched were perfectly saved.

And he called the multitude to him, and said to them: Hear and understand;

Then came his disciples and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard that saying, were offended?

But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying.

And behold, a woman of Chanaan came out from those borders, and cried to him, saying: Have mercy on me, Lord, son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she cries after us.

But she came and did him homage, saying: Lord, help me.

And many multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others; and laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he cured them;

Then Jesus called his disciples to him, and said: I have compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. And I am not willing to send them away fasting, lest they faint on the road.

And his disciples said to him: Whence should we have in the desert as many loaves as would satisfy so great a multitude?

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to tempt him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

And Jesus answered and said to him: Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.

Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And after six days, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up into a high mountain apart:

And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.

While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and lo, a voice from the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I delight; hear him.

And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

But I say to you, That Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him what they wished; so also shall the Son of man suffer at their hands.

And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a man who knelt to him,

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to cure him.

Jesus answered and said: faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.

And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he came out of him: and the child was cured from that hour.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said: Why were we not able to cast him out?

and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised again. And they were very sad.

He said: Yes. And when he had come into the house, before he had spoken, Jesus said to him: What think you, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect tax or tribute? From their own sons, or from the sons of others?

Peter said to him: From the sons of others. Jesus said to him: Then are their own sons free.

And Jesus called a little child to him, and placed him in the midst of them,

but whoever ensnares one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

And if your brother sin against you, go and tell him of his fault between you and him alone; if he hear you, you have gained your brother.

But if he refuse to hear them, tell it to the church; and if he also refuse to hear the church, let him be to you as a heathen man and a publican.

Then Peter came to him, and said: Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

Jesus said to him: I say to you, Not till seven times, but till seventy times seven.

And when he began to make a settlement, there was brought to him one that owed him ten thou sand talents.

But as he was not able to pay, his lord commanded him, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, to be sold, and payment to be made.

Therefore, the servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, Lord, and I will pay you all.

And the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and let him go, and for gave him the debt.

But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying: Pay me what you owe.

Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and be sought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.

And he would not; but went and threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me.

And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him.

And many multitudes followed him; and he cured them there.

And the Pharisees came to him to tempt him, and said to him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

They said to him: Why, then, did Moses command us to give a bill of divorce and put her away?

His disciples said to him: If the relation of man and wife be such, it is not good to marry.

For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs that have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it that is able to accept it.

Then little children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.

And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him:

He said to him: Which? Jesus replied: You shall not kill; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not give false testimony;

The young man said to him: All these have I kept from my youth, what do I lack?

Jesus said to him: If you would be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

Then Peter answered and said to him: Behold, we have left all and followed thee; what, then, shall we have?

They said to him: No man has hired us. He said to them: Go you also into the vineyard, and whatever is right you shall receive.

Be hold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

and will deliver him to the Gentiles to deride, and to scourge, and to crucify: and on the third day he shall rise again.

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something of him.

He said to her: What do you wish? She said to him: Command that these two sons of mine may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

But Jesus answered and said: You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and to be immersed with the immersion with which I am immersed? They said to him: We are able.

But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have authority over them.

It shall not be so among you. But whoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.

And whoever will be first among you, let him be your servant;

And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude fol lowed him.

They said to him: Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and their eyes immediately received sight, and they followed him.

and brought the ass and the colt, and put their mantles on them, and caused him to sit upon them.

And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them.

and they said to him: Do you not hear what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

And after he had come into the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority do you these things? And who gave you this authority?

The immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?

And he came to the other, and spoke to him in like manner. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not.

Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, The publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And you, when you had seen it, after ward felt no regret, that you might believe him.

But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and seize upon the inheritance.

And they took him, and carried him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

They said to him: He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and let out his vineyard to other vine dressers, who will give him the fruits in their season.

And he that falls upon this stone shall be dashed to pieces; but him on whom it shall fall, it will make like chaff for the wind.

And when they sought to lay hold of him, they feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

And he said to him, Friend, how came you in hither without a wedding-robe? And he was silent.

Then the king said to his servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and throw him into the darkness without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Then the Pharisees went and held a consultation, that they might entrap him in his words.

And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying: Teacher, we know that you are true, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and care not for any one: for you do not look upon the person of men.

Show me the tribute-money. And they brought him a denarius.

They said to him: Caesar's. Then he said to them: Give, therefore, to Caesar the things that are Caesar s, and to God the things that are God s.
